My antidepressants have killed my libido

I've recently gone on antidepressants, and my libido has flatlined. Is there anything I can do to get my sex drive back without going off my meds?

Unfortunately, many antidepressants sabotage desire. However, they don't all cause sexual side effects. Your best bet is to talk to your doctor about possibly switching brands or readjusting your dosage. Everyone reacts differently to various medications; you might have to go through some trial and error before you and your physician hit on the right meds and the right amount. But just make sure you don't start experimenting without the consent of your doc.

It's also possible that your lack of desire is due to another culprit, like stress, fatigue, or even depression. The trick to figuring it out: when did your libido take a nosedive? If your less-then-lusty feelings began pretty soon after you started the antidepressants, then they're probably the culprit. If you think it's something else, try talking to your physician about your options. And remember: Sometimes all it takes to get back to normal is time.
